January Newsletter 2017

Happy New Year to all of our patients. We hope that 2017 brings forth many wonderful things for you all.

One of our big news items for the beginning of 2017 has been a change in the administrative structure of McLeod Street Medical. After nearly 20 years, Dr Bruce Bilbe has stepped back from his role as partner, making way for Dr Katherine Holzhauser to come on board, joining Dr Chris Haug, Dr Cathy Meehan and Dr Cameron McLeod in the partnership. We thank Bruce for all of the wonderful things that he has helped implement here at McLeod St, and look forward to working alongside Katherine in her new role.

Bruce will be taking a very well-earned rest in the wilds of Tasmania until mid-April, however, we do not yet know what his schedule will be upon his return. Watch this space for an update.

On a sadder note, the lovely Dr Erin Eaton has relocated and is now based in Darwin. Erin and her beautiful family are enjoying the wide open spaces and parks up in the NT. Thankfully, Erin will be doing some locum work with us from time to time when she pops back to Cairns. Please contact our team of receptionists for Erin’s availabilities.

Also, our friendly registrar – Dr Jess Fulton, has relocated as well. Unfortunately for us, Jess’ partner has been transferred to the Gold Coast Hospital. We are going to miss her smiling face, but wish her all the best for the future.

We look forward to seeing all of the familiar faces of MSM in the near future, and welcome all of the new faces and families for 2017.
